    Just bought vinyl wrapping and doing some other mods

    ive just gona purchased some matte black vinyl,
    its the
    Avery Dennison® Supreme Wrapping Film
    once it arrives ill be wrapping my bike as it needs a new color
    bikes done 112,000kms and has a small dent in the tank from a ute (female driver ) reversing into it
    so ill tidy up the dent and recover the whole bike
    this way i dont have to spend heaps painting and the next owner can decided to repaint/ wrap,
    ive also purchased a 954 clear taillight that with a bit of fetting will fit in perfect and be a great upgrade to the tail,
    and i have a custom seat cover to recover my seat

    plastic fabricator/welder here if you need a hand ! will work for beer/bourbon/booze

    Ooo how much did the vinyl set you back?
    Interested in seeing how you get on with it as I am looking to do mine in black vinyl too.
    What are you going to use to fill the dent with before you put the vinyl on?

    my work m8 has some type of metal filler, looks the bees,
    the filler contains titanium oxide
    l i paid $60 for 3ft x 5ft and 2x 3m primer pens
    the primer pens help keep those tight edges in place

    i only have a tank/tail to do, you may need more

    Keen to see the outcome of the avery ... was going to buy some 3m 1080 but their claims of it not needing "primer" had me second guessing.
